$6 Billion Missing From State Dept Under Hillary: How Could She Just “Lose” That Kind Of Money?
Constitution Rising ^ | November 6, 2015 | Rick Wells

Posted on 11/05/2015 6:44:14 PM PST by UMCRevMom@aol.com

For the Democrats, a presidential candidate has to represent the worst of America, embody the furthest thing from traditional American values and possess a parasitic and exploitative nature. Their self-serving irresponsibility and extreme dishonesty, as well as an extreme hatred for our constitutional republic as it was originally constructed cannot be in doubt. In order to be chosen to represent that Marxist, end America as we know it organization, one must be, to put it simply and succinctly, a low-life scum bag. Nobody represents those “ideals” more wholly than Hillary Clinton.

As the criminal Clintons are insulated from the an awareness by the sleeping, distracted American people by the puppy dog media, Clinton’s criminal actions are being ignored and any attempts to investigate immediately dismissed as politically motivated and unjustified.

Putting aside the obvious and indisputable mountain of evidence that Clinton committed treason by selling favors as Secretary of State and has engaged in conflicts of interest, criminal obstruction of justice, espionage, perjury and a host of other crimes related to her “public self-service,” wouldn’t just being historically bad with money be grounds enough to dismiss one as a viable presidential candidate? Clinton wants us to vote for her based upon her indoor plumbing, but women are generally fairly good at budgeting and at least knowing where they money goes even if it is being spent irresponsibly.

Hillary Clinton lost the unfathomable amount of $6 billion during her four years at the State Department. How does one do that? Even the most ignorant of drool-soaked, red diaper sporting Democrats couldn’t just “lose” that kind of money, nobody can. But you can skim it or guide it into situations where it can be laundered and then brought back home to mamma.

This aspect of the Clinton document dump by design which has not, for the resulting lack of evidence and the associated obstruction been pursued, was addressed by Judicial Watch a year and a half ago. Looking back we see evidence of a media cover-up, with virtually nothing having come of their revelations. The silence speaks for itself.

At a minimum she should be made to answer by the voters. At a minimum, her friends in the moderator panel at the next debate should have a couple of questions regarding both her criminality and her fitness to lead, given the obvious improprieties. Here’s what Judicial Watch had to say in April of 2014:

In a mind-boggling example of how the government blows—or perhaps steals—our tax dollars, billions vanished from the U.S. State Department mostly while Hillary Clinton ran it, according to a new alert issued by the agency’s inspector general.

Could the former Secretary of State be using the cash to fund an upcoming presidential campaign? In all, $6 billion are missing and it’s highly unlikely any of the money will ever be recovered. The cash was supposed to be used to pay contractors but it just disappeared and documents that could help track the dough cannot be located. How convenient! The paper trail, which federal law says must be maintained in the case of government contracts, has been destroyed or was never created to begin with.

How could this possibly happen? Like a lot of government agencies, outside contracts are a free-for-all at the State Department with virtually no oversight. Hundreds of millions of dollars are doled out annually for a variety of services and no one bothers to follow up on the deals. This “exposes the department to significant financial risk,” according to the State Department Inspector General, which issued a special management alert this month outlining the lost $6 billion. The watchdog further writes that “it creates conditions conducive to fraud, as corrupt individuals may attempt to conceal evidence of illicit behavior by omitting key documents from the contract file.”

Among the examples listed in the memo is a recent investigation of the closeout process for contracts involving the U.S. mission in Iraq. Investigators could not locate 33 of the 115 contract files totaling approximately $2.1 billion. Even of the files they found, more than half contained insufficient documents required by federal law. In one billion-dollar deal involving the State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement in Afghanistan, the actual contract was determined to be “incomplete.”

In one alarming case a contract file conveniently omitted that a $52 million deal was awarded to a company owned by the spouse of another State Department contractor employee performing as a specialist. In other cited cases a contracting officer actually falsified government technical review information in a $100 million deal and a contracting officer’s representative allowed nearly $800,000 to be paid on a deal with no official documents to support the payment. It’s the free-flow of public funds under extremely suspicious circumstances.

At the very least the State Department is violating its own policy, according to the inspector general, which divulges that it’s found “repeated examples of poor contract file administration over the years.” The watchdog confirms that “it is the Department’s policy that all contracts, regardless of dollar value, be properly documented so as to provide complete record of: pre-solicitation activities; the solicitation, evaluation, and award process; and [sic] the administration of the contract through closeout.”

This unbelievable report documenting the mysterious disappearance of $6 billion from the coffers of a major government agency brings to mind a similar and equally enraging story reported by Judicial Watch a few years ago. The Pentagon somehow lost $6.6 billion sent to Iraq for post-invasion “reconstruction.”

Just as the Inspector General so insightfully noted, key documents have disappeared, are not available and will likely never be. Clearly that was at least a partial motivation for establishing the separate email system that Clinton operated, something that the IG was, like the rest of us, unaware of at the time of his investigation.

So as the corrupt media battles over who can make Donald Trump look like a “clown” or berates Ted Cruz for his efforts to “shut down the government,” in fighting against bloated government abuse of the citizens, they might want to take a half hour or so out of the next Democrat debate to focus on fiscal responsibility. They might consider how for most Americans, dishonesty and corruption are much more important issues in determining our leaders than their gender or race.

That would require them to put away their bias and do their jobs as watchdogs rather than lapdogs, as our guardians rather than sleeping night watchmen, as a free press rather than an entertainment media and as the fourth estate rather than occupants of a guest house on the Obama plantation.

Ask the questions – it’s incredibly difficult to earn $6 billion dollars, few ever achieve it. Even fewer, perhaps a handful, in the course of history have managed to “lose” it. Hillary Clinton is one of those rare individuals.

...How Could She Just “Lose” That Kind Of Money?...

Just like she could turn a $1,000 cattle investment into $100,000 almost overnight.

That's because she didn't "lose" it. She "loosed" (sic) it. That's right... she made sure $6B became "loose", rolling around, where it could be scarfed up. As it really turns out, the taxpayers "lose" it.

Someone can check my math, but I think that laying six billion one dollar bills end to end would go around the earth 23 times.

Agree. Most of it probably went to put Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in power in Egypt. Then with that in place to arm the terrorists.

Yes, Obozo armed and trained our “enemies” during a time of war. TREASON.

Sadly that is true. They are just pigs at the trough for the most part. Just who made it ok to be a crook? I say Bill and Hillary Clinton and the media that supported them. I distinctly remember,during the Monica episode, a female reporter saying she wouldn't mind getting out her kneepads for Bill because he was for abortion. That to me said it all. They can lie, cheat, steal, murder...but as long as they tow the liberal line it's ok.

The only problem with this is that the Dept of State missing $6 billion is just the tip of the iceberg, and most of our elected leaders have stolen billions via our government agencies.

Most people don’t even realize that there are around 2000 known government agencies, and ones not even on the books.
Many times they create new agencies just so they have another cash cow to steal from.

This is why HIllary Clinton is not in jail.

"Smile everybody. Another $500 million came in today from the State Dept."

Paraphrasing VD Hanson ....lurid revelations indicate the Clinton Foundation is a huge money-laundering operation fuelling the Clintons affluent lifestyle and their political ambitions. There's well-paid sinecures for the hydra-headed Clinton retinue flitting around w/ scads of tax dollars. The serial cover-ups and financial legerdermain are the result of greed and the Clintons naked buck-raking.......

LAUGH BREAK--- (SOB) Socialist Bernie Sanders is really, really "for the people". At the Demorat debate, he regurgitated his disgust with Wall Street, and those he feels contribute to inequality in America.

We know now that Bernie loves Hillary but hates Wall Street hogging all the wealth leaving the working classes w/ nothing so it was a real tear-jerker when "kindly compassionate" Bernie stoutly defended Hillary's criminality WRT her State Dept emails....as Hillary glowed w/ approval.

OH, I JUST CAN'T WAIT---Will be such fun to see Bernie defend THIS Hillary.

Then-US Sen Clinton and then-Sen Corzine on the Capitol steps.

EXHIBIT ONE Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs executive suite, buying his NJ Senate seat office for $65 million; then buying the NJ governorship. Out of office, he ran a hedge fund where $1.5 B went missing....that employed both Bill Clinton and then-Secy of State Hillary's top aide Huma Abedin.

EXHIBIT TWO When Chelsea Clinton's husband started a hedge fund, he gained access to investors who had ties to the Clintons and to Goldman Sachs. Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs'ers — Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon — began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund.

Some of Mezvinsky's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton." The WSJ reported extensively on the hedge fund's underperformance since its inception and Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing.

===========================================

EXHIBIT THREE Then-US Sen Jon Corzine (D-NJ), used his office to pass a special tax exemption for a Japanese bank he owned----his Goldman Sachs crony, Christopher Flowers---adminstrator of Sen Corzine's "blind trust"--- used Corzine's blind assets to takeover the Japanese bank. Corzine later said he "did not know" the legislation he sponsored "benefited" him.

There's a saying in Congress---"One hand washes the other." You vote for my bill; I vote for your bill. So did Did Hillary vote for Corzine's legislation....giving tax breaks for a Japanese bank Corzine's "blind trust" owned?

So what other Wall Street deals did Corzine make w/ Hillary to enrich himself...and her? "Bernie, I insist you go first."

ROTFLOL

Betcha Sid Blumenthal knows where some of the missing money is.

INCONVENIENT FACTOID Sid Blumenthal was the conniving Clintons' bagman---a $325,000 employee of the Clinton Foundation, he promoted dubious foreign deals and schemes in which he had a financial interest.

Blumenthal was ambidextrous---emailing Libya foreign policy messages w/ one hand....his other hand firmly in the State Dept cookie jar.

In one confidential e-mail to Clinton, Blumenthal was clearly colluding w/ onetime Amb Joe Wilson to help himself to the cookie jar.

GAME ON Wilson pumped himself as a 'director' of Symbion Power---an outfit seeking millions of dollars in contracts from an obscure government agency chaired by Hillary....the Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC)

In September 2010, Hillary's MCC awarded Symbion $47 million tax dollars for (cough) 'power projects in Tanzania.'

EVER WONDER how much of the $47 million tax dollars got to Tanzania....after the players divvied it up among Blumenthal, Wilson, the Clintons, Obama?

FREEPER ACTION PROJECT--DO THIS NOW: demand the MCC books be opened. We demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to the State Dept profiting at taxayers' expense.
